MICROSCOPY
• Microscope was invented by Antony Van
Leeuwenhoek in 17th century.
• Required for the morphological studyof
microorganisms.
• USES - to magnify the image.
- to achieve maximum resolution.
- to provide sufficient contrast for observation
Resolution: the extent to which details in the
magnified object are maintained.
Resolving Power (RP) : the smallest distance by
which 2 points can be separated and still be observed as 2
distinct / different points.
RP (eye) – 200 µm
RP (visible light) – 300 nm
RP (electron microscope) – 0.1 nm
DEFINITIONS
Types of Microscopes
In light microscopy the magnification is obtained by optical
lenses using light waves. This includes
• Bright-Field microscopy
• Phase contrast microscopy
• Fluorescent microscopy
Electron microscope – Uses beam of electrons to produce the
image. The specimen samples can be examined by either
transmission or scanning electron microscopy
Microscopes are broadly categorized into light
(optical) & electron depending upon magnification
Bright-Field Microscopy
• Microorganisms do not absorb much light, but when they
are stained with dye, it increases their light absorbing
ability.
• This results in greater contrast & colour differentiation.
• This type of microscopes produce about 1,000 to 2,000
magnification.
• If magnifies greater than 2,000 the image becomes fuzzy.
The microscopic field is brightly lightened and the
microorganisms appear dark because they absorb
some of the light.
Bright-Field Microscope
A Bright-Field Microscope
Dark-Field Microscopy
• The light microscope is equipped with a special kind of
condenser that transmits a hallow cone of light from the
source of illumination.
• Most of the light directed through condenser does not enter
the objective, but some of the light rays will be scattered if the
transparent medium contains objects such as microbial cells.
• The objects are brightly illuminated
against dark background.
Dark-Field Microscopy
• This diffracted light will enter
the objective & reach the eye;
thus the object (microbial cell)
will appear bright in dark
microscopic field.
• Dark-Field microscopy is
valuable for the examination of
unstained microorganisms
suspended in fluid wet mount
& hanging drop preparations.
Dark-Field Microscope
Dark-Field Microscopy
Treponema pallidum; a spirochete
that causes syphilis
Spirillum volutans; a very large
bacterium with flagellar bundles
Clostridium botulinum; a bacterium
causes botulism
Dark-Field Microscopy
• Very useful in finding extremely small, unstained
and / or moving objects.
• Organelles like cilia, flagella, vacuoles and cell nuclei can
be clearly seen.
USES
Fluorescence Microscopy
• Such substances are called fluorescent & the phenomenon is
termed as fluorescence.
• The microorganisms are stained with a fluorescent dye and
then illuminated with blue light.
• The blue light is absorbed and green light emitted by the dye.
• Chemical substances absorb light but only some
substances will emit light of a longer wavelength
and a lesser energy content.
• Acridine orange : Orange
• Auramine-Rhodamine : Yellow
• Calcofluor white: White
• Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC) :
Green
FLUOROCHROMES
Fluorescence Microscopy
Fluorescence Microscopy
Fluorescence Microscopy
• The fluorescent dyes are combined with antibodies which are
specific to microorganisms.
• Antibodies to which fluorescent dye is attached are known as
labelled antibodies.
• The labelled antibodies are then mixed with a suspension of
bacteria & examined by fluorescent microscopy.
• The bacterial cell combined with labelled antibody will be visible in
microscope,
Fluorescence Microscopy
Phase Contrast Microscopy
• It is a valuable microscope
for studying living unstained
cells. It is widely used in
applied & theoretical
biological studies.
Phase Contrast Microscopy
Phase Contrast Microscopy
• It uses a conventional light microscope fitted with a phase-
contrast objective system and makes it possible to distinguish
unstained structures within a cell.
• Principle: Light passing through one material and into another
material of slightly different refractive index or thickness will
undergo a change in phase.
• Advantage : since staining is not involved, live
organisms can be observed.
Phase Contrast Microscopy
Electron Microscopy
• Invented by Knoll & Ruska in 1936.
• Uses electrons in place of light.
• Electrons are focused by
electromagnetic field.
• Image is formed on a fluorescent screen or is taken
on a photographic material.
• Resolving power is 100,000 times more than
light microscope.
Electron Microscopy
• 1. Transmission EM ( TEM ) 2. Scanning EM ( SEM
)
• SEM allows the study of cell surfaces with greater contrast &
higher resolution than TEM.
Disadvantages :
• Only dead & dried objects can be examined, since the medium is vacuum.
• Cell morphology is distorted.
Types of Electron Microscopy
Electron Microscopy
Transmission Electron Microscopy
• It provides tremendous useful magnification because of
much higher resolution obtained by short wavelength of
the electron beam and magnifies the specimen.
• The electron microscope uses electron beams &
magnetic fields to produce the image, whereas the light
microscope uses light waves & glass lenses.
• The electron microscope produces a wavelength of 0.05A0. It is
possible to resolve objects as small as 10 A0.
Electron Microscopy
Transmission Electron Microscopy
• The resolving power of the electron
microscope and it produces magnification
upto 4,00,000 times.
• The specimen should be prepared as
extremely thin dry film and is introduced
into the instrument at a point between the
magnetic condenser and the magnetic
objective.
• The magnified image may be viewed on a
fluorescent screen.
Electron Microscopy
Scanning Electron Microscopy
• The specimen is subjected to a narrow electron beam
which rapidly moves over the surface of the specimen.
• This causes the release of a shower of secondary
electrons & other types of radiation from the specimen
surface.
• The intensity of these secondary electron depends on
the shape & the chemical composition of the irradiated
object.
• The secondary electrons are collected by a detector
which generates an electronic signal.
• Signals are scanned in a manner of a television system
to produce an image on a cathode tube.
Electron Microscopy
Scanning Electron Microscopy
• The scanning electron microscope lacks the resolving power obtainable
with the transmission electron microscope but has the advantage of
revealing a striking three dimensional picture.
Limitations:
• The specimen to be examined is kept in a chamber that is under very high
vacuum. So the cells cannot be examined in live state.
• The drying process alters some morphological characteristics.
• Low penetrating power of electron beam that requires very thin section of
specimen to observe the internal structures of the cell.

  • 18. Electron Microscopy • Invented by Knoll & Ruska in 1936. • Uses electrons in place of light. • Electrons are focused by electromagnetic field. • Image is formed on a fluorescent screen or is taken on a photographic material. • Resolving power is 100,000 times more than light microscope.
  • 19. Electron Microscopy • 1. Transmission EM ( TEM ) 2. Scanning EM ( SEM ) • SEM allows the study of cell surfaces with greater contrast & higher resolution than TEM. Disadvantages : • Only dead & dried objects can be examined, since the medium is vacuum. • Cell morphology is distorted. Types of Electron Microscopy
  • 20. Electron Microscopy Transmission Electron Microscopy • It provides tremendous useful magnification because of much higher resolution obtained by short wavelength of the electron beam and magnifies the specimen. • The electron microscope uses electron beams & magnetic fields to produce the image, whereas the light microscope uses light waves & glass lenses. • The electron microscope produces a wavelength of 0.05A0. It is possible to resolve objects as small as 10 A0.
  • 21. Electron Microscopy Transmission Electron Microscopy • The resolving power of the electron microscope and it produces magnification upto 4,00,000 times. • The specimen should be prepared as extremely thin dry film and is introduced into the instrument at a point between the magnetic condenser and the magnetic objective. • The magnified image may be viewed on a fluorescent screen.
  • 22. Electron Microscopy Scanning Electron Microscopy • The specimen is subjected to a narrow electron beam which rapidly moves over the surface of the specimen. • This causes the release of a shower of secondary electrons & other types of radiation from the specimen surface. • The intensity of these secondary electron depends on the shape & the chemical composition of the irradiated object. • The secondary electrons are collected by a detector which generates an electronic signal. • Signals are scanned in a manner of a television system to produce an image on a cathode tube.
  • 23. Electron Microscopy Scanning Electron Microscopy • The scanning electron microscope lacks the resolving power obtainable with the transmission electron microscope but has the advantage of revealing a striking three dimensional picture. Limitations: • The specimen to be examined is kept in a chamber that is under very high vacuum. So the cells cannot be examined in live state. • The drying process alters some morphological characteristics. • Low penetrating power of electron beam that requires very thin section of specimen to observe the internal structures of the cell.
  • 24. Comparison of different types of Microscopy Type of microscopy Max. magnification Appearance of specimen Useful applications Bright field 1,000-2,000 Specimens stained or unstained. Bacteria stained and appear as color of stain Gross morphological features of bacteria, yeasts, molds, algae & protozoa Dark field 1,000-2,000 Generally unstained, appears bright or lightened in an dark back ground Microorganism that exhibit some characteristic morphological features. Ex.: Spirochetes Fluorescence 1,000-2,000 Bright & colored based on color of the fluorescent dye Diagnostic techniques reveals identity of organisms. Phase contrast 1,000-2,000 Varying degrees of darkness Examination of cellular structures in living cells. Ex: yeasts, algae, protozoa & some bacteria Electron 2,00,000 – 4,00,000 Viewed on fluorescent screen Examination of viruses & ultra structures of microbial cells
